In 1982 Mr. Savino was chosen twice by Maestro Andres Segovia to perform in master-classes at the Conservatoire de Musique in Geneva, Switzerland and at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. In 1984 and 1986 he was chosen to perform in the International Segovia Fellowship Competition sponsored by New York University and in 1985 became the first solo guitarist to win at the Artists International Carnegie Recital Hall Debut Competition. His recordings include the first period instrument versions of Luigi Boccherini’s guitar quintets, Mauro Giuliani’s Grand Quintetto and Johann Kaspar Mertz’s Bardenklänge all of which have received great critical acclaim. The Parisian journal has also placed his Boccherini recordings in their “Great Discoveries” category which they deem as essential to any classical music collection.  He is presently a Guest Lecturer at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music and Professor of Music at the California State

University at Sacramento.
